LordGwyns Pentode which is a $1.5k diy amp that should compete with the big boys. I have his Airmid OTL! He is currently writing the build manual. Zach had the prototype at CanJam! It should work well with any ZMF! You will find it referred to on the Caldera thread and also on LOrdGwyns head fi thread! Monster Zero will be referencing it in his upcoming Caldera review! I am considering one if I decide to go Caldera!. It should have a very similar performance level to the Airmid! It is a triode strapped pentode with transformer coupled out. High and low impedance taps. Look into it. Should be available in a couple months. It willl no doubt eat a Bottlehead Mainline for lunch. Around same price! The other notable kit headphone amp at that price point. It is designed to compete against expensive boutique amps! The Airmid has become almost legendary, albeit unavailable!
Happy listening,
